Environmental health A branch of public health, this area of study focuses on all aspects of the natural and built environment that impact human health. It’s ideal if you’re passionate about healthy environments and healthy people, or if you wish to work in public health policy.

Food studies Gain extensive food knowledge, from the science of food composition to community issues, such as genetically modified foods and food law. Pursue a range of careers, including in the food industry, health services, business and mass media.

Health promotionHelp to make it easier for individuals and communities to make healthier choices. Health promotion is a perfect fit if you’re a big‑picture thinker and want to work in health policy, or prefer smaller‑scale ideas and projects like health education and community engagement.

Health sciencesIf you’re looking to discover your passion in the health and community sector, a course in health sciences lets you create a qualification that suits your unique career aspirations. Become a specialist in the health sector by hand‑picking study areas that you’re passionate about.

Medical imagingOur highly specialised course in this field lets you work as a registered diagnostic radiographer in Australia or overseas.

Otherwise known as medical diagnostic radiography, medical imaging is the technique of creating visual representations of the internal organs of the body for clinical analysis and medical intervention.

Nutrition scienceGain an understanding of the nature of food, including its impact on health and the role of nutrition in disease prevention. Learn about human nutrition and the complexity of current issues relating to food and human health, as well as the nutrition and health implications of food composition and processing.

Occupational therapyPursue a career with a direct impact on people, by helping them to lead healthy and meaningful lives. We’ll equip you with the specialised knowledge to improve your clients’ lives – at home, at work and in the community.

OptometryGet trained to care for others by managing the health and function of the eyes and visual system, and diagnosing and managing a range of ocular conditions.

As you learn about visual health issues and their local and international impact, you’ll understand the underlying social and environmental factors that contribute to the health gap between regional communities and well‑served urban population centres.

Public healthUnderstand and act on the factors that cause poor health, and those that create and sustain good health. This field relies on diverse approaches, including community engagement, policy development, research, education and the media to address the causes of poor health within populations.

Social workA diverse profession, social work focuses on human rights and social justice. You’ll work with individuals, families and communities – improving wellbeing, addressing inequality and enriching lives.

Sports nutritionHelp elite athletes get the most out of their bodies and performances through food and nutrition. Sports nutrition covers the specific macronutrient needs of athletes and provides practical nutrition considerations for before, during and after sports performance.

Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry

D302 WP 3.5 T1

The Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry is a specialised combined degree that lets you graduate with a professional qualification in optometry in just three‑and‑a‑half years. You’ll gain the discipline‑specific knowledge and skills to be work‑ready and practise as an optometrist in Australia and New Zealand, as well as learn about the broader effects that visual health has on society.

Optometry Regional and Remote Entry SchemeWorkforce shortages in optometry exist in regional and remote areas of Australia. The School of Medicine at Deakin University has addressed these shortages by introducing a Regional and Remote Entry Scheme, to attract more regional and rural students into the optometry course.

The Regional and Remote Entry Scheme has a separate VTAC code and eligible applicants may receive up to 10 bonus aggregate points towards their entry score for admission.

deakin.edu.au/health/regional-and-remote-entry-scheme

Professional recognitionOn successfully completing this course, you can apply for registration to practise as an optometrist in Australia. Deakin optometry has been awarded accreditations by the Optometry Board of Australia, following assessment by the Optometry Council of Australia and New Zealand (OCANZ). You’ll also be eligible to apply for registration to practise as an optometrist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and to Medicare as a service provider. This will enable you to pursue employment opportunities throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Work experienceClinical placements are an integral part of this program. You will undertake a variety of short‑term industry placements and spend the final six months of the course as a ‘student resident’ in one of a range of clinical optometric and medical settings. These extensive rotations take place in metropolitan and regional or rural settings, and will help you to consolidate your knowledge and skills in supported environments, under the supervision of qualified optometrists.

CareersDeakin optometry graduates are well prepared for employment in a diverse range of work settings, including:

• clinics• corporate and community settings• health services• hospitals• non‑government organisations• private practice• research institutes• state and local governments• tertiary education institutions.

Career opportunities for qualified optometrists include:

• practice ownership• private and public eye care• research and education• recognised specialties within optometry

such as: – myopia control – dry eye management – low vision – paediatric vision.

As well as pursuing a career in optometry, this course could lead you towards a number of other rewarding careers, including:

• ophthalmic practice business owner• spectacle retailer• not‑for‑profit campaigner• visual simulator designer.

Work placement requirementsIn accordance with Department of Human Services policy1, all students are required to undertake a National Police Record Check before clinical placements in each calendar year of their course. Students who fail to obtain a Police Record Check before starting clinical placements will not be able to undertake any placements. Students are also required to undertake a Working with Children Check at the beginning of their course, and are required to read, understand and comply with the School of Medicine Infectious Diseases and Immunisation Policy. Failure to comply with this policy, or obtain a Working with Children Check, may also prevent students from undertaking clinical placements.

Several clinical placement agencies require that students are vaccinated/blood tested before undertaking clinical placement and/or graduate employment. Deakin University Medical Centres provide detailed advice and blood testing, and administer all necessary vaccinations before beginning clinical placements and/or employment.

‘As a resident of outback Western Australia, I’ve experienced first-hand the lack of healthcare services available to people and communities living in remote areas and the negative implications this can have on health – physically and mentally. I chose optometry to give back to communities that are in need of eye care.’

Sarah MawdsleyBachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry student

Make a difference to health worldwideAre you interested in what causes poor health? Do you want to help people engage in healthier lifestyles? There are thousands of world health issues that urgently need attention.

For example, it’s estimated that globally, 1.3 billion people live with varying levels of vision impairment. Among them, 36 million people are blind. Worldwide, the majority of vision impairment is avoidable, however many people don’t have access to eye care services. Peru’s Ministry of Health has worked to expand access to eye care services through maternal and child health facilities to address avoidable vision impairment and ensure comprehensive eye care services are available for everyone.

This is just one example of a public health initiative that improves lives. Deakin’s vision science and optometry course will start you on the path to making a difference to world health.
